Default New Nuts and Tyre Pressures?

I've got myself a pair of O.Z Ultraleggeras 18" with 215 35 rubber, how do i know what tyre pressure to put them at?

Also i want new nuts as the standard ones are horrible. What nuts do you recommend that are good yet well priced?
I would prefer steel nuts not aluminum.

Also is it possible the OEM nuts don't fit the O.Z's properly, i put one on today and it held it on but it looked bit of a odd fit.

Thanks

Don't use the OE nuts with these wheels as they do not have the steel inserts that the OE wheels have and can literally rip through the holes. I use these:

I got OZ Alleggeritas and use black Kai racing nuts with black McGard locking nuts fine.

Tyre makers say use car makers advisory settings for tyre pressures, and the car makers say the opposite....

Just use a few psi more than std. and adjust to suit your use.

IMHO.
